Sports fans who are also environmentally-conscious are going to love this note from emagazine.com. The National Football League actually has its own tree-planting team that works hard to minimize the carbon footprint of the Superbowl. Their Environmental Program also focuses on reducing food, packaging, and decoration wastes. What's even more amazing than the fact that the NFL is actually doing this, is the fact that it didn't just start this year. This will be the fifth year this program has engaged in strenuous greening activities. I have to wonder why we didn't hear more about it before. Is it because the GREEN message is getting louder and more popular? Whatever it is, I think it very good news for the planet and yes, also for our lungs and our longevity, as we just learned in the previous article. The Environmental Program of the NFL has been busy planting trees in Tampa, Florida, prior to Superbowl Sunday, initiating a dozen different tree-planting projects in and around the city.
